2007 NASCAR Award Banquet Info
Taking a “victory lap” around New York City during Champion Week.
The racing may be over for the season, but there is one last hurrah for all three major NASCAR series in the form of the end of the year Awards Banquets. This is the time when we get to honor the top drivers in the point standings, the Rookie of the Year, as well as to be entertained by comedians and musical acts.
The Nextel Cup banquet is the first one up and it actually is going to be held this Friday, November 30th live from New York City. The Busch Series banquet is December 12th in Orlando, Florida, and the Craftsman Truck drivers were honored on Monday November 19th, but you can still catch the airing of the ceremony on SPEED in December.
For more specific information, including airdates and scheduled performers, keep reading after the jump.
